What Does It Mean To Be A Brickie? - A Letter From Superintendent, Dr. Peggy Buffington!
What does it really mean to be a Brickie? I had the privilege of reading an Alumni scholarship application where one of our students explained it so well. See what I mean in the image below.
We Can Help Students Achieve Their Goals and Dreams With Hobart University!
These Early College opportunities provide a cost-effective, efficient, and engaging way for students to take courses that align with their career interests. Most of these classes are FREE! Students save money and time by enrolling in our Early College program called Hobart University while attending high school. Students are provided with unbelievable opportunities that they otherwise wouldn’t have until later in life. Visit our website at https://www.hobart.k12.in.us/Page/9257 to learn more about these opportunities. Talk to your children about preparing for Hobart University! Students need to have good grades to be eligible for Early College, and this means students need to do their personal best at every grade level.
We are working hard for the Brickies by fulfilling our vision and mission daily and striving for Success for All Students from Cradle to Career. We pledge the following to our Brickies:
- Our Schools Equip Children for Adulthood
- Our Schools Address the Needs of Individual Students
- Our Schools Are Community Schools
- Our Schools Are Committed to Success
Educationally Yours,
Peggy Buffington, PD. D., Superintendent of Schools
